A Rash Of Terrorist Spectaculars, Pushing As Never Before The Possibility Of Wmd Use By Non-State Actors Into The Spotlight, Has Brought The Immediacy Of The Question Home. Aum Shinrikyo'S Sarin Gas Attack On The Tokyo Subway In March 1995 Represented The First Large-Scale Use Of Mass-Casualty Weapons By A Non-State Actor For The Express Purpose Of Causing Large Numbers Of Deaths And Injuries. These Attacks Make The Question Of Potential Use Of Wmd By Terrorists An Important And Timely One, Especially When Considered In The Light Of The Explosion In Information Technology Availability And Growing Concerns Over Proliferation And Material Control Issues. The Level Of Physical Destruction, Injury And Loss Of Life From These Weapons Is So Great That The Potential For Acquisition And Use By Terrorists Warrants Serious Consideration.(Published In Collaboration With Usi, New Delhi)

Book Description
Terrorists armed with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) pose a growing threat to the United States and its vital interests (citizens, critical infrastructure, and territory). In response to this threat, President Clinton issued Presidential Decision Directives (PDDs) 39, 62, and 63, which restate the country's long-standing counter-terrorism (CT) policy and outline the administration's strategy (objectives, concepts, and resources) for dealing with it. In support of the administration's policy, Congress has passed laws and increased funding for counter-terrorism programs. One such legislative measure, the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Act of 1996, identified specific measures certain government departments or agencies needed to take to prepare the nation for the consequences of a WMD event. As a key part of its efforts, the Department of Defense (DoD) created National Guard WMD Civil Support (CS) Teams, the "cornerstone" of DoD's consequence management strategy. The purpose of this research project was to analyze the United States' CT/WMD strategy for the twenty-first century to determine if it was adequate to meet the future domestic security needs of our nation. It was also to assess how well DoD's National Guard WMD Civil Support Teams have been implemented into that strategy. These purposes have been accomplished by identifying the WMD terrorist threats, and assessing how effectively government concepts and resources have been applied towards meeting the national objectives of reducing our country's vulnerabilities to these threats, preventing and deterring them, responding to them, and managing the consequences of their attacks. Conclusions have been drawn based on the analysis. In addition, recommendations have been made to assist federal, state, and local authorities as they prepare now for an uncertain future.

Book Description
In the past decade, as the threat from rogue states and terrorist groups has increased, the U.S. and its allies have devoted far greater attention to how to manage the consequences of prospective uses of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Consequence management1 is a process to mitigate the effects of the use of weapons of mass destruction, including: " detecting and characterizing weapons of mass destruction attacks; " measures that protect public health, ensure safety, and protect the environment; " measures to medically counter the effects of weapons of mass destruction attacks; " measures that restore essential services to government, businesses, and individuals; and " planning, training, and equipping to coordinate/synchronize the civil-military response.2 A thorough review and discussion of U.S. plans for consequence management will include the following: " The history of consequence management of the effects of weapons of mass destruction, with particular focus on the period since 1993. " The mandate for consequence management in the recent U.S. National Security Strategy and National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction.3 These strategies direct U.S. efforts both in the homeland and in support of U.S. forces and allies overseas, though these efforts are organized differently.
